Last time I was at the range (Bathgates) was last Aug.
I really did "find something" ... more a combination "soup", but was hitting it as well as possible at the time.
Then I get / discover my prostrate problem.
Didn't hit another ball till the Sept city champ
I've been trying to figure out the golf swing / experiment for ~50 years.
I really have found "it" .
Kind of a "rediscovery".
I worked at Markland woods in the late 70's, back shop, progressed to asst pro.
When I started working there, I was about a 12 - 15 hdcp, first was on a golf course (Humber Valley) when I was 17, trying to break 100
After five years working at Markland, getting to play every day, I had an approximate 5-6 hdcp, would usually shoot 76-82 ....a few 74's 72's
Then one day, standing outside, practice swinging, I "thought" of yet another swing "move / thought" etc.
Nothing really complicated
Basically just make my normal swing motion using the least amount of tension possible, like you are throwing a ball or an object ... or moving anything else with your
body in your daily life
The main reason golfers get tense is because of the "hit instinct", and getting tight before impact in an effort to hit the ball HARD !
This just locks up your muscles, and with tight wrists and hands, STOPS the clubhead motion, killing speed, throwing off the clubhead path. and all other kinds of UGLY
Using my "new" swing thought, I went out and shot 67 on the par 71 course
For some incredibly stupid reason, related to my bizarre personality and thinking ..... or just because "it's golf", I played hundreds of rounds after that, NOT using or able
to feel the same swing
